Nursing nostalgia,
\nthe tribute bands play covers —
\nrelive what wasn’t.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
The injured cellist,
\nforced to bow out of concerts,
\nretires her bow.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
The big bands play swing —
\nold couples dance joyously,
\nthen reclaim their canes.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Three childhood friendships —
\ntreasured, instrumental —
\npiano, oboe, flute.<\/p>\n
